Quote:That's been suggested to me before, and I am aware that people used to do level 4 PvP quite a bit, but a long time ago. I'm certainly not opposed to it, but it would require a different level of coordination than what I can bring myself. So, if people are interested, let's toss some ideas around. One thing I was told was that Radiation Emission can be pretty OP at low levels with team-oriented play.Originally Posted by B_Witched
we should make it level 4 just for a lil more variety.

wait till that new movement pool thing comes out - instant recharge of all your powers (don't think it affects incarnates). perma mog

Quote:If your defense brings the enemy's to-hit value to lower than its base, DR will lower your defense. Having 21% chance to hit is the same as having a 29% to-hit debuff. The number is reduced to bring the to-hit value closer to its base value.Originally Posted by Sentry4
basetohit+tohit-tohit debuff-defense
50+14-13-30= 21%
That 21% is then -29% from base and that's DRed to a lower number making the chance to hit increase?
The slotting of the defense power is DR'd. Then, slotting of the to-hit debuff is DR'd. Next, the slotting of the foe's to-hit buffs are DR'd. Lastly, all those values are totaled and that value is DR'd. So, if you give -20% to-hit, but they have +20% to-hit, the values cancel before DR, and the DR'd value is your defense. So, if you have 64.5% melee defense, it would be DR'd to about 40.5%. That value is then reduced by accuracy slotting and bonuses. How accuracy and elusivity work with DR... I don't really know. I imagine it is similar.
Note that everything I'm saying is understanding I gained from trying very hard to understand the things Arcanaville has posted on the subject, so if I'm wrong, it's likely because I misunderstood her posts. I would suggest to anyone interested that you see the above link to her post on diminishing returns and also this one:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=126132
Also note that this is an exceedingly complex system and the devs have made little to no effort to help their community understand it, so if anyone does not understand it, they really shouldn't feel left out. You are with the majority on that. -

I think where I was going with this is, maybe more along the lines of a kickball event where you could use regular invention IO's/SO/Hami's. I understand that there will be certain powers that may prove to be better to use in an event like this, but you will always have a run in with this problem. The point to making an event like this would be so people who don't pvp farm and tend to play this game, more then just sit afk making infamy, have a shot in competing once in a while in PvP.

Quote:DR works on totals. To-hit and defense are part of the same total.Originally Posted by Sentry4
What you need to do is add some -tohit to your build, as -tohit is like adding more defense, although weaker than raw defense it doesn't have to overcome the huge DR curve you're already at.

Quality PvP is impossible because you're playing City of Heroes. It will never be competitive; it's only enduring quality is allowing you to get laughs pub-stomping, but most people are too bad for that anyway.
It's not worth the time. Go make a bagel. -

Bump for this it tonight!

That's about as good as it gets unless there is a better time from when Interface was applying on every tick of Rain powers. There was also a bug when people would randomly get ported into the last mish of the ITF, and some people took the liberty of running it, which net them a 5 minute complete or something. Aside from that, it's a damned fast time.

Shadow Shard would be horrible for PvP. And to all of you saying PvP is dead, just because you don't like it doesn't mean its not there.

Yes. The actual descriptions says it does some damage, but frees an ally from Hold, Disorient, Imobalize, etc, while adding +res to those effects. These effects stack along with +damage, +Recharge rate increase and +perception.
What I am saying is the opposite.
The later part of the power...+res to status effects. +damage, +Recharge rate increase and +perception seem to stack breifly.
However since on of my mains is a faithful Empath who uses clear mind often, I have noticed the primary effect, Which is to "Free the ally" does not seem to work like clear mind.
We were fighting Family Consierge with singularities. Im firing this off a lot. When it works it turns the hold and the imob into a slow (Which is normal) as with web grenades etc.
What I am saying is that Im not able to bust the actual hold. My friends are still held even if I stack EM, and use it when they first get held. Soemthing is wrong here.
I tested this on a second account before I made that post.. The target of the buff went from 0 Hold protection to 10 Hold protection. I don't see how that is not working as it should.
EDIT: This looks pretty convincing to me:
I also tested this in RWZ with another pain corr.. EM does free you from holds and stuns. -
I thought fiteklub means 2 people fight each other until one dies. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a ranged toon can fight to the death too.
-
Maybe you're thinking about PvP.... EM does in fact give hold protection in PvE.
